Recent reports highlight different types of criminal activity targeting ATMs in India. In Nagaur, Rajasthan, a bank manager prevented an attempted robbery by using the ATM booth's shutter to trap two suspects who were using a gas cutter to access cash. 

In Nagpur, police arrested two members of an interstate gang for a fraud scheme involving ATM tampering. The suspects allegedly used black plastic strips to block cash dispensers, allowing them to collect trapped currency after customers' transactions were processed without dispensing cash.
